So, the only people who are “smart” are the ones who agree with you totally, right Steve? It’s a good thing the Universe is so large that it can accommodate the egos of the lunatics on the blogs and the rest of creation.

Roger Rabbit Commentary: Yertle can go fuck himself. Democrats owe him payback, not obeisance. This isn’t about getting even, though, it’s about exposing Trump’s, McConnell’s, and the entire GOP’s disloyalty, subversion, and coverups. It’s about freeing America from the nightmare we’re in. And Yertle is part of that nightmare.

@6 “So, the only people who are ‘smart’ are the ones who agree with you totally, right Steve?”

You know, Pars, in the old days I used to find intelligent life on the right — people who could give reasons for their ideological stances and make coherent policy arguments — but they aren’t there anymore. The right is an intellectual desert now, just a glassy-eyed rabble banging on garbage can lids. Whose fault is that? It sure isn’t ours.

Yup. And Trump’s response to it is about as effective as his response to the hurricane that devastated Puerto Rico. Because in his mind, brown people aren’t even human.

Meanwhile, Doctor Dumbfuck quotes the NYT editorial policy, but interestingly, doesn’t quote a word of the article he cites and links us to. So let me help out here.

“President Trump is right. There is a crisis at the southern border. Just not the one he rants about.

“There is no pressing national security threat — no invasion of murderers, drug cartels or terrorists. No matter how often Mr. Trump delivers such warnings, they bear little resemblance to the truth.

“But as record numbers of Central American families flee violence and poverty in their homelands, they are overwhelming United States border systems, fueling a humanitarian crisis of overcrowding, disease and chaos.”

Democrats are willing to provide money for a proper response to the real crisis on our border, but Trump isn’t interested.

His administration’s response has been to break up families and put children in cages instead of providing humanitarian aid. Kids are dying in ICE custody for lack of medical care. Meanwhile, GOP cronies get lucrative no-bid contracts to run juvenile concentration camps.

Doctor Dumbfuck supports this corrupt, inhumane administration with all his heart and soul. Because he fervently embraces the false propaganda about making Germany, excuse me, America “great again.” It takes a lack of critical thinking ability and moral compass to do that. It takes a real dumbfuck.

Remember Sandra Bland, the young black woman who was killed by the State of Texas for failing to use her turn signal?

It has long been known the incident was recorded by the cop’s patrol car dashcam and by a bystander, although it took 2 months to get authorities to release the dash video, which eventually led to the cop being indicted for perjury for filing a false police report.

Well, it now turns out that Bland also recorded the traffic stop — on her cellphone — and Texas investigators had that evidence all along and concealed it.

Bland’s video captured the entire incident. It shows a very belligerent cop approaching her car, and shouting at Bland to get out of the car, while pointing a taser at her. Bland never became confrontational or threatening; she simply asked why she was being arrested for a traffic violation.

Bland’s death in jail three days later was officially ruled a suicide, but many people have questioned that finding. State and federal investigators found the jail didn’t follow proper procedures, but a grand jury declined to indict the sheriff or jail staff. The county and police department eventually paid a $1.9 million settlement to Bland’s family. The perjury charges against the cop were dropped in exchange for his agreement that he would never work in law enforcement again.

“After two months of confinement, and using every legal mechanism available so far, I can – without any hesitation – state that nothing that will convince me to testify before this or any other grand jury for that matter,” she said.

Actually, one purpose his jailing serves is adding back the time Obama commuted.

“The only lawful purpose for her confinement is to coerce her to give testimony,” the filing reads. “Because her confinement is not serving and will never serve any coercive purpose, it has become punitive, and the Court must terminate the order of confinement.”

The motherfucker’s a traitor to his nation. He’s doing us a favor by incarcerating himself.

And by jailing him we’re doing him a favor by keeping him off that window ledge:

Dow is -451 points right now for the same reason it dropped a similar amount yesterday — Trump’s trade war threats against China — but who knows, maybe Doctor Dumbfuck will wave a magic wand and it’ll recover again.

Bland’s death in jail three days later was officially ruled a suicide, but many people have questioned that finding.

Mike Brown was shot multiple times in the front of his body while bull-rushing a cop, but many people haveRoger Dumbfuck Rabbit has questioned that finding, alleging that the dude was running away at the time and therefore was a “fleeing felon”.

Around these here HA parts you are entitled to your own opinions AND to your own facts. Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit has been living proof of this for years.

Goldy✔ @GoldyHA Reminder to journalists: the Employment Policies Institute (fake-EPI) is a restaurant-industry-funded propaganda mill run entirely out of the offices DC-based PR firm Berman & Co. You credulously report their fake “reports,” and I promise you, you will be made to look ridiculous.

Of course Goldy is correct. Unridiculous journalists, after all, create organizations to differentiate themselves from ridiculous journalists. Like the Society of Professional Journalists for Western Washington. One of the Board members of this lauded organization is Mike Rosenberg.

Roger Rabbit Commentary: This is what our politics are now. Conservatives have absolutely nothing to say about public policy. All they want to do is tear other people down. While cheering neo-Nazis and Confederate flags and monuments. They really should have their own country. Not here. On a desert island somewhere. They won’t need to worry about food supply. Their cannibalistic nature will take care of that.

The Western Washington chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, for which Rosenberg is a board member of, also released their own statement stating they had suspended him until further notice.

“The SPJ Western Washington chapter is aware of sexual harassment allegations involving one of our board members,” SPJ’s statement said. “We take this claim very seriously and have suspended the board member pending further information.”

Hey all you feminist non-profits in need of volunteer leadership. I know a dude desperate to rehabilitate himself by passing himself off as a feminist.

All the lefty harassers go this route. There must be someone willing to take his $1,000 donation in exchange for providing him some cover.

An enterprising journalist right about now would be delving into just exactly what Mike Rosenberg’s wife looks like with cum all over her face. Can’t be all that pleasant if Mike was looking elsewhere for it.

(…for which Rosenberg is a board member of…? Looks like Seattle P-I needs to replace an editor. If it still has any.)

Steve, for a guy who’s not bothered that Hillary Clinton has covered for a rapist for going on about four decades now, you’re pretty accusatory about my support for Trump. I’ve never voted for the guy.

“They really should have their own country. Not here. On a desert island somewhere.”

In my opinion, Obama’s greatest failure wasn’t Syria, nor was it adopting the Heritage Foundation and Mitt Romney’s health care plan. It was failing to round up these treasonous motherfuckers and putting them all in FEMA camps.

@23 As usual, always-wrong Doctor Dumbfuck has it backwards again. Roger Rabbit loves big market declines because they’re great buying opportunities. This one is a gift straight from Trump. It’s about the only good thing you’ll ever get from him, so take advantage of it while you can. Wall Street’s losses are your gain. Of course, this only works for capitalists who own stocks; the only things wage slaves will get from Trump’s tariffs is higher prices and job losses.

As the Dumbfucks see it, pointing it out to them somehow makes it our fault.

Good little “libbies” are supposed to politely look the other way while “conservatives” drunkenly soil themselves in public while spewing racist/sexist tropes and cheering on Russian spies.

But that presumption was always predicated on two things that are simply no longer true, and really haven’t been true for quite a long time.

First, the idea that “civility” and/or “comity” could eventually produce mythical unicorn rainbows of “bi-partisanship”. Of course the two decades since the rise of felon Gingrich has systematically trained the hooting, beer-drunk, baboon-base of the GOP that any and all signs of compromise with the filthy hippies must be punished with a political death penalty.

And second, that if we “libbies” try extra super-duper hard to see every single issue from the perspective of frightened idiot trailerdyte fools who give themselves over to every half-baked Russian bot-farm conspiracy-meme like pilgrims on the road to Jerusalem, then maybe, possibly, hopefully, perhaps, one or two of them might possibly maybe some day vote for a older white dude with a (D) after his name. But only if he literally fucks a gun in public while punching a black toddler in the face. And again, we’ve learned that it just isn’t so. They just will not do it. They’d rather vote for Roy Moore while watching him violently fist a middle school cheerleader behind the Dairy Queen than vote for a Democrat.

In the end, all this is really about is conjuring up another lame excuse for why being “conservative” in the modern era is the equivalent of being a traitor. They’ve given away so much they have to justify it all somehow.

Looked consensual to me. Hey, I’m not condoning Bill’s behavior. I never voted for the guy, and if I’d been a sitting senator, I would’ve voted to remove him for the perjury bit.

It just seems to me you’re one supercharged flaming hypocrite, that’s all. And on this blog, nothing destroys a poster’s credibility faster or more completely than your kind of sanctimonious hypocrisy.

Having spent literally thousands of hours over the last three years tirelessly pimping for Trump, passing along every conceivable PIZZACANNIBAL conspiracy, and painstakingly combing the internet for every instance of a Democratic committee person ringing up 13 items in the 12-items-or-less line, we get this:

@34 Did I call today’s 540-point drop a “big market decline”? No. Did I say I’m buying stock today? No. You have a reading comprehension problem, doc. All I’m saying is this is a foretaste of what may happen if Trump is as good as his word about slapping more tariffs on China.

The best thing you have going for you is that Trump is a bullshitter who almost never means what he says. That makes your job of defending him much easier.

God…. Damn! I cannot conceive how stupid someone has to be to give their hard earned SSI disability money to a group like that. It honestly frightens me. Like I’ve said so many times before, an NRA sticker on the back glass of a pickup is like a great big neon “Kick Me HARD” sign. Dumbest motherfuckers on earth.

“In late March, before they revealed a $500,000 contract from the government of Cambodia, state Sen. Doug Ericksen and former state Rep. Jay Rodne traveled to Phnom Penh and met with Prime Minister Hun Sen at the country’s Peace Palace. They posed with Hun Sen for photos and Ericksen, R-Ferndale, … praised the country’s widely condemned 2018 elections, which took place amid a crackdown that included shuttering independent media outlets and dissolving the main opposition party. …

“On April 3, Ericksen and Rodne, who had not publicized their March visit, registered as foreign agents in filings with the U.S. Justice Department, disclosing the $500,000-a-year contract given to their company, PacRim Bridges.

“Ericksen’s parlaying of his elected position into a business relationship with the authoritarian Hun Sen regime is attracting condemnation from human-rights activists, local Cambodian Americans, exiled leaders of Cambodia’s opposition party and even a Republican congressman.”

42, Duping the conservatards and running the grift. That’s all the GOP does anymore.-Describe fully the activities the registrant engages in or proposes to engage’in on behalf of the above foreign principal.

Meeting with US Officials, electeds at both the federal and state levels, and administrative officials to promote improved relations between the USA and the Kingdom of Cambodia. Arranging for visits by Cambodian officials to the US and visits by US officials to Cambodia to promote cultural exchanges and improved relations. Arranging meetings with US business leaders and Cambodia officials to promote trade and investment

I guess when you are a vicious, murderous, brutal dictatorship you have to really scrape the bottom. But honestly, paying a half million to a couple of nobodies to make phone calls and set up meetings? Meetings that aren’t even going to happen now that the media and their own party are condemning these two for helping destroy millions of lives. When you are a Cambodian dictator, or a Republican, these losers are about the best you can hope for.

Glad to hear you throw away your vote on third party candidates who have no chance of winning. At least that limits the damage you can inflict on the rest of us at the ballot box. Too bad more rightwing shills like you didn’t do the same when it mattered.

How ‘I got a plan’ became a thing: Warren nerds out and the crowds go crazy The unlikely making of a campaign slogan.https://www.politico.com/story/2019/05/03/elizabeth-warren-campaign-slogan-1301085 “Since January, she’s rolled out plans to break up tech companies, forgive over $600 billion in student loan debt, enact a 2 percent wealth tax, provide universal child care and more” Not sure the nerd vote is enough, but i like her the best right now. I know gudwad mocks her, so that makes me like her more.

I love how gudwad is telepathic on how much wealth Roger Rabbit has. I wonder if gudwad is just projecting his financial mess onto Rabbit? “I’m fucking up but Rabbit has to be doing worse than me….right? right?”

@52 “I’m fucking up but Rabbit has to be doing worse than me….right? right?”

Since he’s many times richer than me (according to him), and stock prices are the same for everyone, I can’t imagine how a market decline could hurt me more than him.

He’ll probably try to make you believe I’m uniquely terrible at picking stocks (I tend to own blue-chip companies of the sort that pension funds, insurance companies, and other cautious investors load up on), while his foresight is nothing short of magical.

I didn’t make any moves today, but an acquaintance seeking a good retirement dividend stock bought Dow Inc. for under $53 on my encouragement. I’m looking at a couple other things.

@54 Actually, that’s the best argument I can think of against a wealth tax. With heirs like Trump, you simply don’t need one. They manage to prevent excessive concentration of wealth all by themselves without any government intervention.

54, Seasoned organized crime and racketeering prosecutors will tell anyone who cares to listen that this pattern of individual returns reporting large and curiously sustained year after year business losses in combination with obviously high living are a hallmark of mobsters and crime bosses. Gosh! Do you think it might be possible that there is some unreported income involved?

He’s a fleeing felon in plain sight acting crazy and making all kinds of “furtive movements”. Golly, I sure hope this turns out okay.

“He’s a fleeing felon in plain sight acting crazy and making all kinds of “furtive movements”. Golly, I sure hope this turns out okay.”

Thanks to Doctor Dumbfuck and the GOP, an insane criminal now has the nuclear codes. Way to go, dumbfucks!

Speaking of Doctor Dumbfuck, does it strike anyone else here as strange that he claims he didn’t vote for his orange moron and yet he’s spent years posting thousands upon thousands of comments and hashtags supporting the SOB while attacking his political opponents?

For 16 years the NRA maintained an agreement with a television production company to produce a program called “Crime Strike”. As part of that agreement to produce the television program that the NRA members paid for the production company rented a house. They were billed $18 million per year for the rent. The house was owned by the television production company. There is no record of the house existing or ever being used for the production of any television program. The NRA audit committe approved all of it.

Conservative voters are the dumbest human beings living on earth today.

Our boy Jacob Wohl apparently used eventbrite to create a fake event, then a fake persona to claim ‘leftist protesters’ were planning to assault attendees as they arrived especially some guy named Wohl.

Wohl has become a poor man’s Project Veritas. Wait, that’s too kind. He’s a poor mans Morton Downey Jr. Nope, still to nice. Poor man’s Jason Rantz. No, still too high a bar. His lies are so transparent now the media’s first instinct is to do a little IP sleuthing whenever he tears his pathetic head.
